rest house
Roadside overnight accommodation
A rest house is a simple lodging for travelers, typically in remote areas or along routes where other accommodations are scarce.
The term appears most often in South Asian and African contexts, where rest houses were established during colonial periods for officials and merchants making long journeys: We stopped at a government rest house for the night.
